Cheap Little Bottle of Heaven

So I ventured to Target today for detergent so I could finally do some laundry.  While there I decided to peruse through the make-up section.  I came upon the section with E.L.F. {if you're not familiar it's a somehow super cheap make-up line.} I have bought E.L.F. products before, never been blown away but at least felt like I got my $1 worth {which is the price of almost everything... now it's either $1, $3, or $5}.  I needed a new foundation brush but I found this Brush Shampoo.  I have used the Clinique spray brush cleaner before but didn't think it did a stellar job so I was sceptical.  I brought it home with me being only $3 and I had to share it with you... it was a MIRACLE WORKER.  It worked much better than the $15 spray from Clinique.  I was in shock over my sink and ended up cleaning all my brushes instead of just the one!! I highly recommend everyone has this little bottle of cheap heaven in their bathroom cabinet!

Website Obsession... Society Social

So I have seen a couple of people post about this new site Society Social so I finally clicked through... OMG!  I am offically in love. She makes a impecciable hostess gown, bar tables, chairs, tables, sofas, everything you need to build your perfect party! 



I have to own one of these caftans.  Once I own a party worthy house this is exactly what I am going to be wearing when I host.



Look at this table!! It's perfect for a small apartment or a breakfast nook like they use! I love the way it looks, and it comes in tons of great bright colors perfect for anyone!






The couch comes in like 20 different combo's! Isn't it great website for decorating or throwing a great party! {FYI - I am working on a big September Issue post so until then posts will be less writing... more pictures... right to the point... but no less meaninful :) }

Fall Inspiration ... Rachel Zoe Collection

Ever since the Fall 2011 RTW Runway's I have been lusting over Rachel Zoe's collection.  The first time I looked at it I expected it to be fine... maybe a little too dramatic and probably not very wearable. Ohhhhh was I wrong!! I feel in love and have been clicking through the pictures waiting to copy every outfit she made.  I'm in love with it! Here are some of my favorites... even if you won't ever own one of the pieces it's easy to get fall inspiration from the genius herself...




The wide leg trousers, tie blouses, 70's smoking blazers, winter white, and even the shoes and bags are right on trend. It's easy to see Zoe in all of these looks as well.  She admitted for her first collection she stayed right in her comfort zone... which for me was fine because I'm in LOVE.  She recently debuted her second collection for Resort 2012 which has way more color, beautiful caftans, and even simple print sundresses.  My favorites from that below...





I am obsessively obsessed with the teal gown.  I wish I had a place to wear it.  I love the gorgeous chiffon gowns, the fun prints, and especially the great transition places!  I am officially a fan Rachel Zoe {well I already was... I am Rachel Zoe for Halloween every year... hey don't judge, boys might not know who I am but it's easy and fun for me.} but I am a Rachel Zoe Collection fan!

WOOHOO!!

My super sweet friend Ashley nominated me {without my knowing!} for the CBS Local {DFW} Most Valuable Blog Award! I somehow became a finalist so I added the little gadget right there on the right side of the page for you to click and vote for me!!!!! You can vote once a day and voting ends September 9th. Thanks again Ashley! I am SO excited!!!

{P.S. I do get this picture does not go along with the post... but I found it while looking for one... and couldn't find one that made sense. And isn't this the cutest picture????! So whatever...}

Update: Current/Elliot for Kate Spade!

So if you remember I posted about Emily Current and Merrit Elliot designing the "Westward" Collection for Kate Spade here.  This is mostly groundbreaking because Kate Spade has NEVER done a collaboration before.... also groundbreaking because the 2 companies are SO different from each other.  Here's an update to the FABULOUS bags they came up with.






Aren't they amazing?! I can't handle the sequin duffle bag... I have to own that!! {although it runs a steep $1,295 ... so I won't...}.  It's made with Italian tan vegetable leather and burnished metallic sequins. Gorgeous!! The lining is black and white stripe which makes it oh so Kate Spade. Aren't they all pretty great though? I am still mystified that these 2 completely different brands came together and did a great collection that personifies them both! Now lets see if it sells or if I can own one of these at 75% off....

You can get all these bags at Kate Spade.  they run from $545 for the clutch to $1,295 for the duffle like I said... not cheap but if you can afford it they look like they might be worth it!

Fall Must Have.... Statement Necklaces

Sorry for the delay in posts lately... I've been a busy lady and this weekend was Southern Boy's birthday! {Happy Birthday to yooouuu one last time!} I am back and promise to stop neglecting you fabulous people!  As is maybe obvious, I love jewelry, however I'm not a big earring person... not sure why.  But I LOVE LOVE lovelovelovelove big statement necklaces!  They are my favorite way to jazz {yep, I said jazz} up ANY outfit.  Here are some of my favorites I am drooling over....


Top Left: Robert Rodriguez Multi Strand Coin Necklace $285
Top Right: Theodora & Callum Cleopatra Necklace $365
Bottom Right: Nest Clustered Howlite Necklace $350

 Above are all from Neiman Marcus Direct.  Gold is the best, easiest way to incorporate a big necklace like this into your wardrobe.  I have lots of strands of gold chains I wear together, sometimes I add my favorite vintage owl necklace into the gold chain mix to add a little extra!


Top Left: Kate Spade Spotlight Bib $248 $124 Top Middle: Kate Spade Gold Rush Collar $248
Top Right: Kate Spade Cut to the Chase Bib $148.
Bottom Left: Hazel Symth Labrodorite Long Deco Diamond and Stone $320 Bottom Middle & Right:  Deco Bubbles on Chain $330
These are my drool worthy necklaces for Fall. Perfect with tailored wide leg trousers, silk top, and blazer.  Or a perfectly cut striped shift dress.

Hope everyone had as wonderful weekend a weekend as I did!

Obsession... Miu Miu Glitter Bootie

As Rachel Zoe would say... "I die" over these booties.  I have seriously been having dreams about them and what outfits I would put with them.  They are my recent obsession of life!  I want the pink and silver ones but I would probably take any of them if someone wanted to pass them over.... anyone? I would wear them all the time... even if it was inappropriate to wear them {although.. I can't imagine what situation that would be?}.  Don't you LOVE?!
